Verifying Solution for Exponentially Distributed Random Vars.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the probability $\Phi$ for two independent and identically distributed random variables $X$ and $Y$, both following an exponential distribution with rate 1. The analytical solution presented by the user does not align with their simulation results. The final expression derived for $\Phi$ is $\Phi = \exp\left(-\frac{D+B}{ab}\left(1 + \frac{e^\varphi}{1+c}\right)\right)\exp\left(-\frac{P_a r^\alpha}{P_s}\right)$, where $D = A + a$ and $c = \frac{\bar{\mu}P_s}{r^{\alpha}}$. The user seeks validation and correction of their calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of exponential distributions, specifically $X \sim \exp(1)$ and $Y \sim \exp(1)$.
  • Familiarity with probability theory, particularly the manipulation of probabilities involving random variables.
  • Knowledge of mathematical expectations, denoted as $\mathbb{E}$, and their application in probability calculations.
  • Proficiency in mathematical notation and expressions, including multivariable calculus and exponential functions.
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the properties of exponential distributions and their applications in probability theory.
  • Study the derivation of joint probability distributions for independent random variables.
  • Explore the use of mathematical expectations in calculating probabilities involving random variables.
  • Investigate simulation techniques for validating analytical solutions in probability and statistics.

Given two i.i.d. random variables $X,Y$, such that $X\sim \exp(1), Y \sim \exp(1)$. I am looking for the probability $\Phi$. However, the analytical solution that I have got does not match with my simulation. I am presenting it here with the hope that someone with rectifies my mistake.

:


$$\Phi =\mathbb{P}\left[P_v \geq A + \frac{B}{Y}\right] $$

$$
P_v=
\left\{
\begin{array}{ll}
a\left(\frac{b}{1+\exp\left(-\bar \mu\frac{P_s X}{r^\alpha}+\varphi\right)}-1\right), & \text{if}\ \frac{P_s X}{r^\alpha}\geq P_a,\\
0, & \text{otherwise}.
\end{array}
\right.
$$

**My solution**

\begin{multline}
\Phi = \mathbb{P}\left[ a\left(\frac{b}{1+\exp\left(-\bar \mu\frac{P_s X}{r^\alpha}+\varphi\right)}-1\right) \geq A + \frac{B}{Y}\right]\mathbb{P}\left[X \geq \frac{P_ar^\alpha}{P_s}\right] + {\mathbb{P}\left[0 \geq A + \frac{B}{Y}\right] \mathbb{P}\left[X \geq \frac{P_ar^\alpha}{P_s}\right]}
\end{multline}

Given that $\mathbb{P}[0>A+\frac{B}{Y}] = 0$

$$ \Phi = \mathbb{P}\left[a\left(\frac{b}{1+\exp\left(-\bar \mu\frac{P_s X}{r^\alpha}+\varphi\right)}-1\right) \geq A + \frac{B}{Y}\right] \exp\left(-\frac{P_ar^\alpha}{P_s}\right) $$

consider $D = A + a$, $c = \frac{\bar{\mu}P_s}{r^{\alpha}}$

$$ \Phi = \mathbb{P} \left[Y \geq \frac{1}{ab}\mathbb{E}_Y[DY + B]. \mathbb{E}_X [1+e^\varphi e^{-c X}] \right] $$

$$\Phi = \exp\left(-\frac{D+B}{ab}\left(1 + \frac{e^\varphi}{1+c}\right)\right)\exp\left(-\frac{P_a r^\alpha}{P_s}\right) $$

I did not include the whole intermediate steps in the above solution which may cause confusion. Hence those steps are now presented below.

**My solution**

\begin{multline}
\Phi = \mathbb{P}\left[ a\left(\frac{b}{1+\exp\left(-\bar \mu\frac{P_s X}{r^\alpha}+\varphi\right)}-1\right) \geq A + \frac{B}{Y}\right]\mathbb{P}\left[X \geq \frac{P_ar^\alpha}{P_s}\right] + {\mathbb{P}\left[0 \geq A + \frac{B}{Y}\right] \mathbb{P}\left[X \geq \frac{P_ar^\alpha}{P_s}\right]}
\end{multline}

Given that $\mathbb{P}[0>A+\frac{B}{Y}] = 0$

$$ \Phi = \mathbb{P}\left[a\left(\frac{b}{1+\exp\left(-\bar \mu\frac{P_s X}{r^\alpha}+\varphi\right)}-1\right) \geq A + \frac{B}{Y}\right] \exp\left(-\frac{P_ar^\alpha}{P_s}\right) $$

Now consider only the first part of the expression on the right side of the equation, and letting $c = \frac{\bar{\mu}P_s}{r^{\alpha}}$.

$$ \mathbb{P}\left[a\left(\frac{b}{1+\exp\left(-\bar \mu\frac{P_s X}{r^\alpha}+\varphi\right)}-1\right) \geq A + \frac{B}{Y}\right] = \mathbb{P}\left[\frac{ab}{1+\exp\left(-c X+\varphi\right)}-a \geq A + \frac{B}{Y}\right]$$

consider $D = A + a$, and with mathematical manipulations, we get:

$$ \Phi = \mathbb{P} \left[Y \geq \frac{1}{ab}\mathbb{E}_Y[DY + B]. \mathbb{E}_X [1+e^\varphi e^{-c X}] \right] $$

$$\Phi = \exp\left(-\frac{D+B}{ab}\left(1 + \frac{e^\varphi}{1+c}\right)\right)\exp\left(-\frac{P_a r^\alpha}{P_s}\right) $$
